At Shepped.com, we believe in having your pet properly covered in the event something should happen to them — whether an accidental injury, illness, or lifelong disease.
We also understand that choosing the right pet insurance, equipment and food can be tedious, even for those working inside of the industry.
That’s why we’ve gone to great lengths to ensure our reviews are both easy to navigate, and easy to comprehend so that you know you’re making the right decision when you choose a company to protect your pet.
To help you understand the exact process that we go through, when it comes to reviewing different types of companies and coverages, here is a basic breakdown of the areas that we look at:
In-depth Category Research

We know that gaining your trust requires spending extra time crossing the T’s, and dotting the I’s. That’s why we spend hours, upon hours, making sure that the information contained in our reviews is both in-depth, and 100% accurate.
Expert Reviews From Industry Leaders
One of the best sources of information comes from industry leaders who know, use, sell, and understand the types of products that we’re reviewing.
Gaining true insight into the inner workings of different companies, policies, and coverages is crucial, and only possible with the help of experts that are in the insurance industry.
Customer Feedback
The next step comes down to figuring out exactly what customers like yourself think about the products.
Expert opinions are great, but the real research comes when you figure out what past customers have to say, whether good, or bad, and tie it into the research for a complete overall picture.
Comments And Dialogue On Other Websites
We don’t simply rely on our own opinions and research to help you figure out which products are best for you and your pet.
By utilizing other websites, we can figure out new data points, and areas that we need to research deeper so that we can completely cover the topic for you.
Feedback From Social Media Channels
Some of the most vocal users of products, like pet insurance, reside on social media platforms.
To round out our research, we get into groups, and research on pages that surround the types of products we’re reviewing and determine if there is any new information that we haven’t already uncovered using our other research avenues.
Are Online Review Sites Trustworthy?
This is the biggest question visitors will ask themselves when they land on a review. With the ease of publishing on the internet, there is a lot of misinformation, and reviews that are downright deceitful.
To help set ourselves apart from the deceptive review websites, we’ve created a list of resources to help show you that there are real, live people behind these reviews, and that we do whatever possible to earn your trust, and show that we are a legitimate source of information.
